Rally in Alabama
lundi 23 août 2021 à 02:00Republican anti-vaxxers at the wrecker's rally in Alabama bood him when he advocated vaccination.
It seems that the monster he started has become too powerful and crazy for him to restrain.
One MD in Alabama refuses to treat unvaccinated patients with Covid-19. He says it is because he can't bear watching them die.
I don't think that is a valid reason. Medical doctors should try to treat all sick people, even if the chance of saving them is small, because the chance is more than zero. In this case, the chance is not really so small. Treatment for severe Covid-19 does save many of the patients.
However, a doctor can only do so much, and a hospital can only handle so many patients in its ICU.
When there are more sick people than the doctors and the hospitals can handle, so that they simply cannot treat everyone, it makes sense for them to publish a policy of giving first priority to the patients who took proper precautions to reduce the chance of getting sick — meaning, those who got sick despite vaccination. After those, they would treat as many of the unvaccinated patients as they can fit, to the extent they can.
